Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

(a) Dismissal of independent registered public accounting firm

On December 14, 2010, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Nevada Property 1 LLC (the “Company”) notified KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) that upon completion of the 2010 audit engagement and the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2010, KPMG will be dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to change accounting firms was recommended by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board.

During the year ended December 31, 2009 and the period from the Company’s inception on July 30, 2008 to December 31, 2008 and the subsequent period through December 14, 2010, the Company had no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to KPMG’s satisfaction, would have caused KPMG to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on our consolidated financial statements. In addition, during such periods, there were no “reportable events” as that term is defined in Item 304(a) (1)(v) of Regulation S-K. The Company’s management has authorized KPMG to respond fully to the inquiries of the new independent registered public accounting firm regarding all matters.

KPMG’s reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009 and as of December 31, 2008 and for the period from inception on July 30 to December 31, 2008 did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

(b) Engagement of new independent registered public accounting firm

On December 14, 2010, the Board, based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, approved the engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm. PwC's engagement is subject to the completion of its acceptance procedures and will be effective for the Company's year ending December 31, 2011.

The Company has not consulted with PwC during the year ended December 31, 2009 or the period ended December 31, 2008, or during any subsequent period prior to December 14, 2010 with respect to any of the matters or events listed in Regulation S-K 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii).

The Company provided KPMG a copy of this Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and requested that KPMG furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements in items 4.01 (a) and (b). A copy of KPMG’s letter, dated December 20, 2010, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Election of Board Member

On December 14, 2010, the Board elected Fabrizio Campelli to the Board of Directors subject to obtaining all of the necessary regulatory approvals from the Nevada Gaming Commission. The Board did not elect Mr. Campelli pursuant to any arrangement or understanding between Mr. Campelli and the Company or any other person. The Board also appointed Mr. Campelli to serve on the Compensation Committee.

There are no transactions that are required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of SEC Regulation S-K. There is no material plan, contract or arrangement to which Mr. Campelli is a party.
